We're dividing 12232597 by 496 
We want to figure out the number of times 12232597 can be divided by 496.

On to step 1:
The number 496 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 496

Going ahead to step 2:
12 divided by 496 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 122 / 496

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 496 fits into 122 0 times, leaving a remainder of 122.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 122 leaves us with 122.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 122 and continue: 1223 / 496

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 1223 by 496, we get 2 with a remainder of 231.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 992 away from 1223, we end up with 231.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 231, then carry on: 2312 / 496

Advancing to step 5:
The number 496 fits into 2312 4 times, leaving a remainder of 328.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 1984 from 2312 to get 328.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 328, then carry on: 3285 / 496

Let's proceed to step 6:
496 goes into 3285 6 times with a remainder of 309.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 246.0
Deduct 2976 from 3285 and we're left with 309.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 309, then repeat: 3099 / 496

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 3099 by 496, we get 6 and a remainder of 123.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2466.0
Subtracting 2976 from 3099 leaves us with 123.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 123 and continue: 1237 / 496

Advancing to step 8:
496 can be fit into 1237 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 245.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24662.0
The remainder is 245 after subtracting 992 from 1237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 2450 by 496, we get 4 with a remainder of 466.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24662.4
The remainder is 466 after subtracting 1984 from 2450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 496 fits into 4660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 196.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24662.49
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 4464 from 4660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 1960 by 496, we get 3 and a remainder of 472.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24662.493
If we take 1488 away from 1960, we end up with 472.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 496 fits into 4720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 256.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24662.4939
Subtracting 4464 from 4720 leaves us with 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
2560 divided by 496 is 5 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 24662.49395
Subtracting 2480 from 2560 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 800 by 496, we get 1 with a remainder of 304.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 24662.493951
The remainder is 304 after subtracting 496 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
496 goes into 3040 6 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24662.4939516
If we take 2976 away from 3040, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 496 fits into 640 1 times, leaving a remainder of 144.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24662.49395161
Subtracting 496 from 640 leaves us with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 24662.49395161, and the remainder is 1.44e-07.
